85 days till Dolphins season opener: Every player to wear No. 85 for Miami

The Miami Dolphins will open their 2023 campaign against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium on Sept. 10, which is now 85 days away.

Until the opening kickoff of the season, we’ll be counting down each day by remembering the players who have worn each specific jersey number.

No. 85 is currently worn by wide receiver River Cracraft, who joined the team as a free agent last offseason. He was originally moved to the practice squad, but he was moved to the 53-man roster pretty quickly.

There are a few memorable players who have donned the number in the past.

With 85 days until their Week 1 battle, here’s a look at every player to ever wear No. 85 for the Dolphins (via Pro Football Reference):
